Hi Answer:

Please find the charcaterstic features of each bacterium in table given below:

Name of organ	Characteristic features of bacteria
Lungs	Common infection caused by *Streptococcus* pneumoniae a bacilli and anaerobic organism
Small Intestine	Salmonella Infections causes by *Salmonella typhi* is a rod-shaped, gram negative bacteria having two membranes i.e. outer and inner membranes.
Stomach	Most common infection caused by Helicobactor pylori. It cause stomach ulcer in the lining of our stomach. It is gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium. It is S-shaped having flagella
Skin	Mainly two groups of bacteria causes skin infection i.e. Group A. *Streptococcus* (GAS), often called "strep." And Group B Staphylococcus aureus, commonly called "staph." Group A cause mild infection whereas the Group B Staph causes pimples and boils *Staphylococcus aureus* is Gram-positive, round-shaped bacterium. It shows positive test result for catalase and nitrate reduction and is a facultative anaerobe *Streptococcus* is gram-positivee bacteria in the shape of a slightly pointed cocci. Always found in pairs (diplococci)
